Abstract: A touch sensor panel having co-planar single-layer touch sensors fabricated on a single side of a substrate is disclosed. The drive and sense lines can be fabricated as column-like patterns in a first orientation and patches in a second orientation, where each column-like pattern in the first orientation is connected to a separate metal trace in the border area of the touch sensor panel, and all patches in each of multiple rows in the second orientation are connected together using a separate metal trace in the border area of the touch sensor panel. The metal traces in the border areas can be formed on the same side of the substrate as the patches and columns, but separated from the patches and column-like patterns by a dielectric layer.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are liquid-crystal display (LCD) touch screens that integrate the touch sensing elements with the display circuitry. The integration may take a variety of forms. Touch sensing elements can be completely implemented within the LCD stackup but outside the not between the color filter plate and the array plate. Alternatively, some touch sensing elements can be between the color filter and array plates with other touch sensing elements not between the plates. In another alternative, all touch sensing elements can be between the color filter and array plates. The latter alternative can include both conventional and in-plane-switching (IPS) LCDs. In some forms, one or more display structures can also have a touch sensing function. Techniques for manufacturing and operating such displays, as well as various devices embodying such displays are also disclosed.

Abstract: A capacitive touch sensor panel 100 having co-planar single-layer touch sensors fabricated on a single side of a substrate comprises drive and sense lines fabricated as column patterns (a-h) and patches (1-6) respectively, where each column pattern is connected to a separate metal trace in the bonier area of the touch sensor panel and all patches in each of multiple rows are connected together using a separate metal trace in the panel border area. The metal traces in the border areas can be formed on the same single side of the substrate but separated from the columns and patches by a dielectric layer. This sensor panel with all sense electrodes on a single side of the substrate is more compact and simpler to manufacture than double sided panels.

Abstract: A touch screen 400 comprises a plurality of transparent conductive material traces 410, 420, forming capacitive sensing nodes 440 where they intersect. A first set of transparent traces has a plurality of metal traces 415 connected thereto. Metal traces on the surface of a touch screen may be subject to radio-frequency interference (RFI) that can adversely affect the performance of the touch screen. Transparent conductive material resistors 416 are thus inserted within the metal trace paths to form low-pass filters which can reduce the affect of the RFI. A flex connector 430 may connect to the touch sensor panel metal traces.

Abstract: Touch sensor panel configurations for reducing wobble error for a stylus translating on a surface over and between electrodes of the touch sensor panel are disclosed. In some examples, electrodes with more linear signal profiles are correlated with lower wobble error. In some examples, diffusing elements formed of floating segments of conductive materials can diffuse signal from a stylus to a plurality of electrodes, thus, making the signal profiles associated with the electrodes more linear. In addition, diffusing elements can be configured to improve the optical uniformity of the touch sensor panel. In some examples, the diffusing elements can be formed on the same layer as floating dummy pixels and resemble a plurality of merged floating dummy pixels.
